Change in color?

So, walked past Spike & noticed his head is very white(compared to normal) and his body is really dark(compadres to normal) any one know why?

Here is his normal color

He's going to shed his head.

Really? It's never looked like that before, or at least there has never been such a drastic color variation before. I swear he has to keep me on my toes! Can't get too comfortable...

 

[PatsyB]

Yeah, I hate when it gets like that, it looks so tight and uncomfortable. He looks like his legs are getting ready to turn white too. Try giving more frequent baths, that should help keep him comfortable. He may also be a grump and not want to eat much.

He hasn't shed since July...a full body shed

so he is due!

When they get older and bigger they start to shed less. My two year old went like 6 months without shedding anything then all the sudden started again. At one point I thought she had yellow fungus on her belly only to realize that she had a layer of stuck skin that covered her whole belly. I bought something called Reptile Shedding Aid and used it a few nights and the skin came right off in one piece!

Not looking forward to this. It'll probably freak me out as much as it did you :/
